Double-sided Printing with Portait and Landscape mixed - also Page Break question.
Greetings,
We use Word 2003 in Windows XP and I'm facing an odd situation. We write technical documents, in this case a parts list. We prefer to have the pictures on the left side of an open book, with the list of parts on the right. That way when you're looking at a part, you don't have to turn a page to find the information about a part. These picture/list combinations are done in Landscape orientation, but the front portions of the book (cover, table of contents, etc) are done in Portrait orientation. No real problem with a section break (I even figured out how to deal with the headers, footers, and numbering). The difficulty I'm facing is that in this manual the Portrait section is 3 pages long and the Landscape part starts on page 4 (normally the 'back' of page 3). This should work, as page 3 will be in the reader's right hand (I've printed this, and that works), then you turn the page... and page 4 is in your left hand (with the picture) and page 5 is in your right (with the list). Unfortunately, when I print double-sided, the back of page 3 is blank, and the image ends up on the wrong side of the next piece of paper. I could add two pages between 3 and 4 "Intentionally left blank" but I would prefer not to. As I looked into this, I noticed that there is both a section page (inserted by me) that stops the Portrait and starts the Landscape and throughout the ENTIRE landscape section, EVERY page has a "Section Break (continuous)" with occasional "Page Breaks" here and there. I'm really confused about Section Breaks beyond the simple "Insert Break Next Page" function. I'm quite willing to completely re-format this inherited document and start from scratch, but don't want to if I don't have to. Which raises the questions: Is Word2003 unable to print a Portrait layout on one side of a page and a Landscape on the other? Where can I find out some information on Page Breaks in general and the 'continuous' variety in particular? Thanks, Shane |
